[vsnet-campaign-dn 17576] ASASSN-26bv: new SU UMa-type dwarf nova
Dear colleagues, ASASSN-26bv was discovered by the ASAS-SN team on 2026 Mar 15.1 at mag g = 17.1. I have just completed the analysis of my unfiltered CCD time-series observations of ASASSN-26bv, obtained on 2026 Mar 22/23 and Mar 23/24 at CBA Extremadura Observatory. The data were acquired under clear skies with a 0.40-m f/5.1 telescope and a Moravian G2-4000 CCD camera. The combined light curve clearly shows regular superhump modulations with an amplitude of 0.45 mag. A period analysis using ANOVA, Lomb-Scargle, Generalized-Lomb-Scargle and PDM methods (Peranso 3.1) yields a combined superhump period of 0.0565 +/- 0.0003d. The object was measured at mag CV = 16.6 on Mar 24th. Image calibration and photometry were carried out using the latest release of Phoranso, which enabled simultaneous photometry of additional variable stars in the same field of view. These results establish ASASSN-26bv as a new SU UMa-type dwarf nova. Further follow-up observations are encouraged to refine the superhump period and study its evolution. I will submit my observations to AAVSO, CBA and VSNET for further analysis.
